The Diplomat is a small 5 story apartment building in Beltline, Calgary, AB. It was built in 1961 but it is uncertain as to whether or not any of the system is original. Like many small apartment buildings it consists of a 120V circuit connected to AC Bells via the pull stations.

System Specifications

FACP

There is a fused disconnect on the first floor with the electric meters labeled FIRE and painted red. This isn't a "panel" but it is a main shutoff for the 120v.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances consist of Simplex 2901-9708 120VAC vibrating bells. They are colored white and seem to be a rare bell as there is no information on Google about this model.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations all appear to be early Simplex 2099-9754 pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are American Sensors ESA4011 120VAC smoke alarms that use a relay in parallel with the pull stations. There is also a Mirtone 73330 Heat Detector in the laundry room outside the boiler room.
